He's just butthurt that America didn't give a shit about Dark Pink Boy till they made an anime out of it and the fandom got flooded with casuals.

Hell no, reality is horribly mundane.

Oh absolutely.

Araki actually went to most if not all of the places he drew in his comics.

Even the most fantastical work of literature is based on reality, if it's good

Yes. If a work is entirely fantastic, it becomes impossible to relate to. It needs some basis in real human experience for it to really resonate with readers.

JoJo is pretty "human" for a whacky shounen fight comic.

Having an understanding of reality is important, yes, so you can better represent the dichotomy between what's real and unreal. For how characters and the setting is written, we can better appreciate both the more we can relate them to what we know, no matter how close to or far away from reality they are. A character or world could be completely and utterly alien to us in manner or appearance, but we gotta be able to recognize that strangeness from some frame of reference.
